Mini Vacation 2009

Yes, yes I admit it, my name is Michelle and I'm a VERY bad blogger, this post has actually been sitting in my drafts half done for over a month! Sorry but the energy just isn't there lately to do much but the essentials.

We had a great time in Banff tagging along with hubby while he attended his conference for work (I thinks it was back around March 13th, and nope not one picture...what a bad bad mommy and scrapbooker LOL!) . It was quite cold though and since Maddy is still so young we really don't like being out in that much cold for too long so there wasn't a whole lot we did outdoors but hey it was nice just to get away. :)

The girls and I went to breakfast every morning and then swimming. The pool was set up more for a swedish spa, were you go from a small hot plunge pool into the main pool which was quite cold unfortunately. Kelsey didn't mind it at all but Maddy (and her mommy) couldn't get warm in there so it was the hot pool for us and when we got to hot we sat on the steps with only our feet in the water. It was still fun though. :)

Maddy did way better then we thought on the trip although she really sleep as much as we expected but on the last leg  of both ends of the trip when she got fussy we just hooked up the travel DVD to the back of the seat and played a baby Einstein video and she was totally and completely enthralled! It was so cute! I mean she loves those at home but it was so funny that her reaction was even better in the car. We also used a laptop to play them in our hotel room and wow the same crazy cool reaction LOL that girl is funny! Kelsey got a souveneir for herself at the rock and gem store (a necklace with a shark tooth on it) and a few little things to bring back to her friends and was pretty happy about that.

By the end of the few days we were all happy to get back home and into our normal routines and beds!
